This case concerns Tri-County Medical Group's lien for services provided to an applicant between April and August 2013. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed the administrative law judge's decision that the lien is barred by Labor Code section 4903.5(a). The Board found that the 18-month limitation period applies to services provided on or after July 1, 2013, and the lien was filed too late. This interpretation ensures a single, non-absurd statute of limitations for services provided after the effective date.
